"Curtis, 19, joined Kilmarnock on loan from Rangers in January having played 32 times in an impressive first half of the campaign at Ibrox. With Bournemouth's Ben Gannon-Doak just back from injury and Scotland lacking depth in wide attacking areas, Curtis has been given the chance to impress as Clarke prepares to lead Scotland at the World Cup finals in June."
"Scotland host Japan at Hampden on Thursday 28 March before taking on Ivory Coast at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on Tuesday 31 March. Wrexham centre-back Dominic Hyam and Middlesbrough striker Tommy Conway have also been re-called to join an otherwise settled squad."
"Everton right-back Nathan Patterson is also included having played no part in Scotland's successful World Cup qualifying campaign in the Autumn due to injury. Napoli's Billy Gilmour also returns after missing the last camp through injury, while his club team-mate Scott McTominay and Aston Villa's John McGinn are both in as expected after recently returning to action."

Everton's Nathan Patterson returns after injury, while Napoli's Billy Gilmour and other key players rejoin the squad following recent absences.
